Chapter 310: Stockpiling Food Is Not as Good as Stockpiling Guns
When a person has no bottom line and principles.
In fact, he has become an emotionless killing machine.
"Just as long as you don't hold a grudge against me, Naichao."
"As for the rest, we have no control over it for now."
“We don’t have that much experience right now.”
"Right now, I just want to kill ghosts in peace."
"Nai Chao."
"We must speed up the recruitment work."
"Although the various units have now replenished their casualties, relying solely on the existing troop strength is clearly not enough, far from enough."
"Even if a combat force of six or seven thousand soldiers performs well, how many Japanese can they kill?"
"How fast can this kill the devils be?"
"Let's not talk about the outside."
"There are still one or two million devils waiting for us to slaughter within the borders of Xia."
"Nai Chao."
"I'm anxious."
Lin Xu sighed softly, and what he said at this moment was actually what was in his heart.
A strange light flashed rapidly in his eyes.
"brigadier."
"Don't worry."
"As for the conscription, everything has been going smoothly."
"Now our reputation has spread."
"There are quite a few aspiring young people who come to join the army."
"Political Commissar Zhao has been extremely busy lately."
"Every day, we have to educate hundreds of soldiers and identify spies who have infiltrated."
"Old Zhao hasn't slept a wink in the past few days."
Chang Naichao said with emotion.
"Old Zhao..."
“He’s really a workaholic.”
"No matter what, we have to let him sleep peacefully tonight."
"Old Li, this task is given to you."
"Even if I have to get Lao Zhao drunk, I have to let him rest tonight."
Lin Xu directly gave Li Yunlong the task.
"Don't worry, Lao Lin."
"Leave this to me!"
"That kid, Lao Zhao."
"If he doesn't behave tonight, I'll hold him in my arms and sleep all night. Let's see if he can fall asleep!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand and spoke confidently.
These words...
Why does it sound so awkward?
"brigadier."
at this time.
Zhuge Zhongxin, Director of the Logistics Department and Director of the Intelligence Department, walked over with a look of distress on his face.
"what happened?"
"A bitter face?"
"Is there any more news from Meihua?"
Lin Xu said.
"Forehead……"
"Yes...there is indeed news from Meihua."
"Based on intelligence."
"The 20st Brigade of the Japanese 1th Division has entered Ping'an County."
"And according to Meihua, the Japs are going to station troops in Ping'an County at any time."
"Now these devils are paying special attention to Ping'an County."
"but……"
Before Zhuge Zhongxin finished speaking, Lin Xu nodded silently.
"The devils are on guard against us!"
"The Japanese First Army is still licking its wounds."
"As soon as this injury heals a little, I'm afraid they won't be able to wait and launch a second wave of attacks against us."
"That's not a good thing."
"We will always let the devil control the rhythm of the war."
"Can the Japs start a war if they want to? Can they stop the war if they want to?"
"How can such a good thing happen?"
Lin Xu raised his eyebrows, looking quite dissatisfied.
"Old Lin."
"From what you said..."
"Do you want to take the initiative?"
"Attack Ping'an County?"
"Catch all the devils in Ping'an County?"
Li Yunlong is ready to go.
This……
Capable again!
How wonderful!
So cool!
"cough……"
"brigadier."
"I haven't finished yet!"
Zhuge Zhongxin smiled bitterly.
I just started.
Are you planning to attack Ping'an County?
"Ah."
"Zhong Xin, please continue."
Lin Xu nodded.
"brigadier."
"The matter of the Japanese sending more troops to Ping'an County is not urgent for the time being."
"The most urgent thing is..."
"We have tens of thousands of mouths feeding every day..."
“And the recruitment continues.”
"That number is still increasing."
"This consumes several thousand kilograms of food every day..."
"If we continue to conscript soldiers, we simply won't be able to support them."
"brigadier."
"According to your instructions, I have accelerated the purchase of grain in the surrounding villages and towns, but in these times, even the landlords don't have any surplus food..."
"As for transporting food from outside, it's extremely difficult..."
"brigadier."
"How about we ask headquarters?"
"If we don't solve this food problem, even if we recruit more soldiers... we won't be able to train them!"
Zhuge Zhongxin sighed lightly, this was an imminent matter.
"Didn't we get a lot of food back from Ping'an County and Laiyang City before?"
"Damn..."
"Why are you eating so fast?"
"Did you embezzle it?"
Li Yunlong glared.
"The conscience of heaven and earth!"
"Deputy Brigade Commander, if I, Zhuge Zhongxin, embezzle even a pound of grain, you can kill me right now."
"The soldiers undergo intensive training every day, and the workers in the arsenal also have heavy production tasks every day."
"Besides, there are so many military horses that need to be raised..."
“When you don’t manage a household, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are…”
"We only consume a little every day. No matter how much food we have, we can't afford to eat like this."
Zhuge Zhongxin had a sad face, it was difficult to deal with.
Lin Xu nodded silently.
"actually."
"I've noticed the food shortage problem for a long time."
"Before, there were only a few thousand of us, and we relied on the surrounding fields to make ends meet."
“But now our business is getting bigger and bigger.”
"At this time, it's a bit difficult to make ends meet."
"We can't just rob the people of their food supplies like the devils did, right?"
"so……"
“We have to expand outward.”
"It's better to store guns than food."
"We can't steal the people's food, but we can steal the devil's food at will."
"No food."
"Just grab it!"
Lin Xu took out the battle map he carried with him and placed it casually on the table beside him.
The surrounding cities are clearly marked on it.
"brigadier."
"It seems like you...already have an idea?"
"Which city are we going to capture this time?"
"Ping'an County? Or Laiyang City?"
Chang Naichao asked curiously.
"We have already cleared out the granaries in these two cities, so there won't be too much grain left."
"Where is the most fertile land in Jin Province?"
Lin Xu smiled slightly and said suddenly.
"The most fertile land? Taiyuan?"
Li Yunlong said without hesitation.
Logically speaking, Taiyuan is the provincial capital and the most fertile, isn't that natural?
"The brigade commander wants to attack Liangcheng?"
"Liangcheng is located northwest of our Zhao Jiayu..."
"It has always been the most important grain-producing area in Shanxi Province..."
"And as far as I know, the second largest iron mine in Jin Province is also near Liangcheng..."
"If we can capture Liangcheng, we might be able to plunder a large amount of food and even iron ore."
"But Liangcheng is at least a hundred kilometers away from us."
"Also, the Japs' defenses of Liangcheng are relatively strict."
"It's not worthwhile to attack Liangcheng just to seize those food supplies, right?"
Chang Naichao couldn't help but analyze.
